It is unclear whether the parting was Ms. Palin’s choice. Multiple sources told the Times that the decision to end her contract was ‘amicable.’

The anonymous source who spoke with Real Clear Politics declined to say whether Palin would pursue a television contract with another news network.

Palin became one of FOX’s leading political contributors, making frequent appearances across the news channel’s programming after she resigned from her role as Alaska’s governor in 2009.

In 2010, FOX constructed a studio inside the Tea Party favorite’s home in Wasilla, Alaska, where her husband, Todd, would occasionally take on the role of cameraman and producer during her live television appearances.

Palin’s relationship with the cable news channel owned by Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp. empire had seemingly taken several rocky turns in the past year, according to Real Clear Politics.

In a Facebook post during the Republican convention last August, Palin complained that FOX had cancelled ‘all her scheduled interviews tonight.’

‘Sarah, where are you?’ one of Palin’s 3.4 million Facebook fans wrote on her wall last week.

‘Has your contract with Fox ended?’ another supporter asked.

Palin’s departure from the nation’s highest-rated cable news channel follows the departure of another former governor leaving a paid media gig.

Earlier this month, former New York governor Elliot Spitzer stepped down from his prime-time television gig at Current TV after the channel was acquired by Middle Eastern media giant Al Jazeera for $500 million.
